the Mack Center sponsored an industry partner event entitled "Technology
Enabled Business Transformation," which explored a variety of issues
involving transformation which is one of the major themes of the Mack
Center. This topic is particularly relevant since most decision
makers in technology-driven companies manage under conditions of rapid

Conference Description & Agenda
In today's increasingly interconnected
world, the use of communication and computational technologies has
transformed the way firms do business. Companies have redefined how
they perform their internal operations.
As new products and even industries have
emerged, enabled by digital technologies, so also have new paths toward
competitive advantage and profit.
The progress of Internet and
communication technologies is changing the interaction between
employees, corporations, customers and society at large. A number of
firms are capitalizing on the emergent opportunities, and are leading
the creation of an electronically networked world. In doing so, the
boundaries between firms, industries, and societies are blurring and
evolving in new ways.
Critical Issues and questions addressed
in this event will include:
v
How is “technology-enabled business
transformation†influencing Corporate
Strategy?
v
What lessons can be learned from industries
that have been transformed by emerging
digital technologies?
v
How is digital connectivity changing how we
live and work?
v
How are best practice firms creating and
benefiting from Information Networks?
v
How is digitization transforming business
processes, international services and
workflow?
Conference
Participants: Attendees
included more than 90 senior executives from large corporations involved in technological
innovation/emerging technologies, including decision makers responsible
for strategic planning, R&D, market scanning, marketing and organization
development.
